 * Impact of the Project:**

Catering for individual differences // "I learnt how to teach according to students' individual differences. I teach each class according to their characteristics." // (Individual interview with a Chinese teacher, after tryout, 2nd cycle) Learning from a new perspective //"At the beginning we do not know where the problem is ... thought that was the problem...but after discussion with the consultant...we discovered that was not the problem ... we should learn not to look at the issue from the surface."// (Individual interview with a Mathematics teacher, after tryout, 1st cycle)
 * //From teachers' perspective//**

Using different teaching skills //"I feel that giving more time for students to discuss and present is very precious. I will let them have more time to do collaboration activities during the class."// (Individual interview with a Chinese teacher, after tryout, 1st cycle)

Collaboration amongst colleagues //"We chose the topic together, and then we had reflections and shared experiences. We listened to experienced teachers' teaching methods and ideas. They could share different kinds of activities or methods, or even other topics. We all learnt and benefited a lot in the process."// (Individual interview with a Mathematics teacher, after tryout, 1st cycle)
